I think now that we have 4 QB's already on campus Weis is only going to look at those really special talents that he can brin in at the position and if we get Crist he won't recruit one next year. I think we will start recruiting 1 QB every two years that way we keep the depth at the position yet we aren't wasting talent by stacking multiple QB's in the same class on the dfepth chart. We were so lacking in talent that I think Weis had to take 3 in his first two years just to get the depth and quality of players back to where it should be.
I think even if ND gets Crist, Pryor or any other QB in this class that it doesn't effect Weis's recruitment of a QB in '09. I don't see Weis turning away elite QB recruits because he already has some plus you have to take into account that if Jimmy Clausen wins the starting QB job and performs well you can bet that will effect the others QB's situation.
My guess is that if Sharpley doesn't win the starting job that he drops to the bottom of the depth chart and most likely will never see the field again. So if Clasuen wins out I believe he finishes out the year and then gives up football to put 100% into his baseball career. I have no inf ofor this to be true and I'm not starting rumors it's just what I believe.
So that would leave the team with only 3 QB's and under this scenario with the 2 backup QB's being a year/season ahead of the starting QB and so unless Clausen he gets injured they won't see much if any time. So it's quite plausible to believe that 1 if not both might leave so that the can get playing time.
No one knows whats going to happen but you need to be prepared and you don't turn away top talent, let them make the decision if they want to put themselves in a situation where they have to wait a good long time before there given a shot.
So IMO Weis & Co. will look to take atleast 1 QB per year. some years they might not take any because they the top talent that they will want won't want to come and be behind 3 or 4 others.
